The third time's a charm as Heath finishes his stint with us on the Analog Spectrum Podcast. Is Hollywood woke? If so, is it too woke? Is this a controversial subject? Hell if I know.

Heath joins us for another podcast! Am I the only one that thinks he should be a regular?

He joined a few years before To...
Sure, it's a hodgepodge, but it's really another music-based trivia game. Doug has a list of rock 'n' roll album sales. Can Tony guess which ones sold the most?

Try to remember WAY BACK to the podcast Hodgepodge Nùmero Dos! when the Analog Spectrum guys took a few minutes to read some lyrics and then tried to guess the song's title.

Christmas! We don't dislike it! I really think that's the take-home point of our discussion.

This episode is kind of hard to describe – Doug and Tony start with a discussion about things they miss from days gone by…you know, like air travel that didn't completely suck or an internet made up of more than social media sites. However, things quickly spiral out of control after that. In sum...
